1957. While humanity has recently taken to staring at the sky night after night to spot the metal sphere the Russians have launched into orbit, Igor's enthusiasm is directed towards much more earthly matters: soccer. Playing cowboys and Indians. Smacking the fools from the lower town. Until the space fever also catches the 13-year-old and his friends: it can't be that hard to recreate Professor Bienlein's rocket from the travel destination Moon. Baru effortlessly brings the 1950s back to life in a Lorraine industrial town. Engagingly told and without any nostalgic idealization.
